I’m excited to share baby Ari’s session for so many reasons! I work with babies of all ages, so when I see a cutie like little Ari who’s on the cusp of crawling and walking and discovering a million new things the world has to teach her, it’s so much fun to catch the looks of wonder and surprise on her sweet face. At just one year old, she’s exploring everything around her and looking to her loving mom and dad to show her all the things she can discover!
ALL THE SMILES & ALL THE LOVE
This lovely family photo captures happy smiles all around as a proud mom and dad hold their little girl. While Ari’s parents are beaming, their darling one-year-old is making the most adorable eye contact with the camera, which turns this into a family portrait that’s sure to be treasured for ages!
Baby Ari is wearing a delightful little floral romper that gives her all the freedom she needs to play her way through the day in comfort, and mom topped it off with a bright orange bow and coordinating little sandals for a summertime look that’s cute as a button!
CREATING MEMORIES…ONE STORY AT A TIME
It’s not just a story; it’s a memory. And you want to make sure you capture all those big and little firsts in pictures as your baby is growing up because it all goes by so quickly! Mom and dad will look back one day and cherish the memory of those first stories together, Ari’s tiny hands helping to hold the book that’s just about as big as she is, and her look of concentration as she listens to the story and looks at the pictures that fascinated her at the time.
A professional photo shoot is a great way to keep up with all your baby’s milestones and create keepsakes you can treasure forever as your little one grows. It’s super fun to look back through photos and see how your baby changed from those very first days as an infant into an inquisitive and bright-eyed toddler!
Plus, with a brand-new little one on the way this fall, mom and dad will be making even MORE memories. They’ll be adding newborn photos to their collection—what a wonderful way to honor and cherish every family moment.

MILESTONE PHOTO SESSIONS IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA
At the Andrea Sollenberger Studio, I specialize in Milestone Sessions that help you catch all the sweetness and softness of newborn sessions, and I follow up with sessions at various stages of development so you never miss getting a moment in pictures!
LOOK, MOM! NO SHOES!
We can all agree that teeny-tiny baby shoes are one of the most adorable things ever, but just about every little one loves the feeling of freeing their toes and wiggling them in the air. Little Ari is no different, and the excited look on her face is absolutely precious as she stands barefoot on her mom’s lap. Watch out, world…this little girl is ready to roll! She’ll be walking in no time, but not to worry. It’s clear mom will have a protective and loving hold on her little girl for quite a while.
ALL THE GIGGLES, ALL THE FUN
The focus is on FUN at every session—especially with kiddos as giggly and animated as Ari! You just can’t help but be happy in her presence, and you can tell by the looks on mom and dad’s faces that there’s plenty of joy to go around. As she hits her one-year milestone, you can practically see her bounce on her parents’ laps as she gets ready to hit the ground running.
HAPPY FACES ALL AROUND
Nothing’s happier than the proud look on a daddy’s face when he’s holding his baby girl—and this photo perfectly captures all the pride, love, and protectiveness that will surround baby Ari as she grows up. She’s all wiggles and giggles as dad holds onto her, and that’s ok because her happy personality is ready to take on the world. And that’s EXACTLY what I love in the studio because it shows all of precious Ari’s energy and joy! Take a really close look, and you’ll see a couple of brand-new tiny teeth popping through, too!
PERFECT STUDIO PROPS FOR EVERY AGE
Whether we’re swaddling or exploring and learning, my studio is full of every prop and decoration you can imagine for your dream baby photo session! From infants to toddlers, I provide all the safe and soft, cute and cuddly options you want to create the most adorable photos of your baby. And I’ll never leave you guessing! We’ll meet and talk over everything before your professional session so you know exactly what to expect.
BABY PICTURES…STAGES & FIRST STEPS
Whether your baby is teething, giggling, rolling over, or working really hard to get those very first steps, one thing is certain. You want pictures of those important moments! The more often you take baby pictures, the more moments and memories you’ll capture, and that means no matter how grown up your precious little one gets, you can always look back and see images of those sweet little hands and those wobbly little legs and that precious little smile.
BABY GIRL ON THE MOVE
As soon as her little hands hit the floor, Ari was on the move! A soft and furry blanket protects her hands and knees—plus it gives her plenty of tactile interaction as she explores. The look of pure excitement and happiness on this precious baby girl’s face was enough to make everyone around her giddy just watching her discover all the new textures and shapes around her!
FUN & PLAYFUL STUDIO SESSIONS FOR BABY PICTURES
Every baby milestone session is styled individually to match family preferences, but one thing stays consistent every time—we love to have fun! It’s so important to make sure sessions are relaxed and comfortable for babies and their families, so play and interactive activities are encouraged. After all, when little ones are relaxed and playing, it’s the perfect time to capture all the little nuances of their unique personality!
SCRUB-A-DUB…BATHTUB BABY
From crawling to pat-a-cake to sitting tall in this vintage mini tub, sweet Ari was more than ready to show off all the skills she’s learning. And what a cutie-pie, too! Milestone sessions are perfect for capturing all of these pat-a-cake moments and one-of-a-kind expressions of wonder, so you’ll be able to look back on them for years—no matter how fast your little one grows.
ALL DRESSED UP & PRETTY AS A FLOWER
A quick outfit change transformed baby Ari into the sweetest little princess! Dressed in a plaid skirt with a ruffled white shirt and coordinating bow in her hair, she looks pretty as a picture. And just look how tall she’s sitting up all on her own! She’s in a rounded basket lined with a super-soft blanket to give her just a bit of stability, but she didn’t wobble one little bit! The deep red flowers surrounding her perfectly coordinate with her outfit, making it look like sweet Ari is in the middle of her very own garden.
What a pleasure it was to work with baby Ari and her adoring family! I’m excited to soon see the newest addition to their happy family and can’t wait to add even more keepsake photos to their collection.

Andrea, you truly have the best photo studio for baby milestones! I love how you focus on having fun sessions. That makes this process something that the entire family can look forward too, and of course you get the best expressions when mom & dad play with their sweet baby. The props you have available are so perfect, super cute, yet still simple and match your style. These are beautiful portraits of baby Ali and her family!
I appreciate your kind words Michelle! It is an honor to work with every baby and to make baby photos parents love! Parents tell me all the time how they have enjoyed decorating their home with all their favorite baby photos to remind them of all of the changes happening under their eyes!
Baby Milestones are so precious–how wonderful to capture them with professional baby photos! I love the simplicity of the props and backdrop.
Thanks so much for commenting Susan. I love simple baby photos that put all of the focus on the excitement and energy of baby and her personality. Ari was a little doll and made this a fun baby photo session!
Great baby milestone oictures and family photo session for Ari and her family.
Thank you for sharing your feedback Lindsey. I am glad that you enjoyed Ari’s one year baby photos!
It is no easy task to get a toddler to look at the camera and you nailed it! Ari’s mom and dad are going to love these milestone pictures for so many years!
It’s always a challenge to work with toddlers and then the greatest thrill when the work pays off! As well as milestone photos of just their baby alone, Ari’s parents were thrilled to have great family photos with their one year old girl, and then also photos with mom and dad separately. Thanks Brandi!
It is always a pleasure to see the beautiful artistry Andrea weaves into all of her sessions. I always look forward to seeing her creativity when it comes to her baby photoshoots, as well as the warmth that radiates from her relations with clients.
Thank you so much Hannah. These are high praises and I appreciate your support!
No matter what age preference you have for baby photos, Andrea Sollenberger Photography has you covered. Her love and detail for all age groups of children and parents is so heartwarming. It is truly an advantage to have a photographer that takes such extra effort and detail to her clients photo sessions.
Thanks Susie! It’s an honor to be trusted by this mom and dad time after time to create baby and family photos that they love. I am pleased that they have decorated their home with beautiful canvases of their baby from my studio!
So much love to see proud dad being part of the photo session. Love the neutral color of the couch and background and so the focus is on the beautiful girl and her parents. This is the best birthday gift ever for a 1 year old and a family keepsake for generations to come. So well done! Love it!
One year old baby photos of Ari laughing and playing will keep memories alive for this mom and dad. Photos are a wonderful gift! Thanks for your comments Nadia!
